In this article, the effectiveness of the use of computer technology is analyzed in the process of a foreign language teaching compared to the traditional methods based on the results of a long-term experiment. The experiment was carried out with an e-learning program "Talk to me" owned by French company Auralog, the electronic textbook "German for Economists" (content authoring), and the electronic educational resource "English for geographers (physical geography)" (content authoring). The purpose of the study is to investigate the computer technologies for foreign language teaching. The subject of the research is the investigation of the quality of mastering knowledge, skills, and abilities in linguistic aspects (vocabulary, grammar, phonetics) and types of speech activity (reading, listening, speaking, writing). The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the use of computer technology in the process of language teaching aspects and types of speech activity compared to traditional teaching methods. The study is important since nowadays the development of the development of telecommunication technologies is becoming one of the principal areas for improving higher education institutions and the education system in general terms. The development and implementation of computer technology in the educational process is an essential condition for improving the efficiency of teaching at universities. The pedagogical experiment and observation, interview, questioning, testing, and also quantitative and statistical method have been used in this research. The result of the research revealed that the use of computer technology in the process of a foreign language teaching allows achieving better results in almost all language aspects and types of speech activity compared to traditional teaching methods.

The computer simulation of the structural material is required to study the stress-strain state of the structural material of the high-pressure hull (in particular, the heat accumulator body). Laboratory experiment requires significant financial expenses, which is a significant drawback of this type of study. Therefore, the authors considered finite element modeling of structural material by adapting modern software systems for calculating the considered models. A modern design solution for high-pressure hulls of heat accumulators made of non-prestressed reinforced concrete involves the usage of heavy reinforcement cement as a structural material. The proposed method allows gaining rather certain calculations avoiding time-consuming laboratory research.

В настоящее время расчет нагельных соединений элементов деревянных конструкций, выполняемый в соответствии с действующими нормами, не учитывает действительную работу элементов соединения. В данной статье приводится методика расчета нагельного соединения с учетом действительной его работы, то есть с учетом упругопластических деформаций. Для решения поставленной задачи была принята расчетная схема нагельного соединения в виде многопролетной неразрезной балки, которая была реализована в расчетных программных комплексах SCAD и Лира. На первом этапе моделирования работы нагельного соединения доказывается достоверность получаемых результатов. На втором этапе осуществляется моделирование нагельного соединения, которое ранее подлежало экспериментальному исследованию. По результатам данного моделирования делается анализ и даются выводы.

Purpose: The article presents an analysis of the historical values and roles of the Kazan Virgin in the formation and development of the Russian state, the spiritual, moral and patriotic education of citizens and, above all, the younger generation of the country through the prism of the modern socio-cultural situation. Methodology: The study implemented the principle of consistency, the principle of objectivity, the principle of the subject-subject approach. Result: The Kazan Icon of Holy Virgin, the significance of which cannot be overestimated, is a very strong image that has protected the Russian land from foreign invaders from time immemorial. Not only ordinary people prayed to her, but also princes, kings. Particular emphasis is placed on the consideration of the educational component in the modern system of national education, the formation and development of appropriate values and orientations of students, systems of spiritual and moral values, civic identity, the place of spirituality and spiritual culture in the personality structure. The authors substantiate the importance of the image of the Kazan Virgin in solving the problem of spiritual, moral and patriotic education of the population. Applications: This research can be used for universities, teachers, and students. Novelty/Originality: In this research, the model of Historical Significance of the Image of the Kazan Virgin in the Education of Spirituality, Morality, and Patriotism is presented in a comprehensive and complete manner.
